The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Electric Ladyland

Edited one year ago

So… I found the 109 inner,hiding inside a Moody Bllues album[DOFP]..
Only another couple of hundred to go then…
.
Original message..
I have the version with all blue text,including the Track logo..and,Jimi on the left,.It has exactly the same details as shown,except for the inside cover..Is there a separate entry for this version?…RE. THIS..Something else,I have one 098 inner,but the other has the same patent numbers,but uses a darker blue print colour,and typeface..and is marked 44 109…so not correct(108),but pretty close..I’m surprised that even one of them is correct..yet the photo shows a variation from the release note..
“Discs in poly-lined white paper punch-hole sleeves. “Patent no 800513 & 973939” “Made in England 108”

I’ve been thinking about the blue text,and the fact that it’s not solid..On further inspection, with the aid of a magnifier,it’s clear that there is lettering underneath,that has been overprinted..please also consider that white,in the context of litho-printing,is not actually printed..it is,if you like, the base layer,the other colours added,and combined,with varying transparency,to produce the final,correct colours..so,a mystery?..If it had been intended for that area to be blue,it would have been..I can’t believe they would have added another layer (print run)of the cyan..with random lettering on..and the small areas that it is possible to make out bits of letters(through the final text),there seems to be a similarity in both typefaces..hmm?..This could be something to do with labelling being changed, after the decision to decouple/alter the tracklisting..the cyan would have been printed,leaving white lettering,as per the lighter areas,including the track logo..then subsequent printing has added a further layer of cyan(blue),but only one layer over the paler sections through the main text..so it suggests to me,that Jimi would have been on the left..as obviously,”both” sets of text are on the right…all a bit of a theory..if you have copy,blue,mottled text..check it out..one more thing,referring to the track-listing changes…Side A.is a single colour..not mottled..it would have been the only side that would have been unaffected by the changes?While all the other text is mottled on the subsequent listing…where the text had been altered?…Nah..thinking about it,the tracklisting is the same..it’s just the order on the discs etc…and peering at it again,I’m now not at all sure about the typefaces etc..again….the paler lines aren’t always straight,whereas text usually is?..I think its overprinted the cyan part of a picture…

After posting the above,I have found this article which..explains, far better than my rather convoluted guesswork..a great deal, regarding the “myths” etc…

Update …I decided to go through all my stuff,looking for correct inners,lyrics etc..just going through them all,methodically.So… I found the 109 inner,hiding inside a Moody Bllues album[DOFP]..Only another couple of hundred to go then…Original message..I have the version with all blue text,including the Track logo..and,Jimi on the left,.It has exactly the same details as shown,except for the inside cover..Is there a separate entry for this version?…RE.
